Story Mode: Worth the price of admission?

so, here's a question for all you sackfolk.

Would you buy LBP purely for it's story mode, if so...why? and if not...please explain!

Personally? I would have paid for the story mode alone, I think in LBP games the story mode is always fantastic fun to play for and simply put, absolutely gorgeous. The only qalm I have is with the length of the story which could easily be longer in my opinion.

The story is random like koltonaugust said—like the machine were skipping through the dream flux(man).
It is mostly to show off the tools and give a purpose to a sequel, in a way. It makes it so the trophy count can be higher and can show a/an [decent] example of what a level is supposed to look like, with all the pointless yet hooking decals around the world.

LBP™ storyline made better sense than LBP™2 storyline. Much more detail, not to mention the voice acting, but it was sort of repetitive and centered. Boring. I also beat most of it on my first try and aced the first 2 Curators instantly. It was as fast as beating Portal 2, meaning it's good, but yeah...no.

Fighting Game Mains:
Akatsuki Blitzkampf:Adler and Akatsuki
BlazBlue:Jin and Rachel
Guilty Gear:Testament and Faust
Melty Blood:Warachia and Nanaya Shiki
Super Smash Bros:Ness and Luigi, Marth and Mr Game and Watch in Melee and Brawl

if LBP1 didn't have the create mode i bet the "story mode" of the game would be waaaay more epic. i mean just think of the things they could've program properly without the bloody 2d-like objects and stuff. ya know real 3d animations etc in the 2d platforming

So.. if lbp1 had a proper story without create i would totally buy it.
if it was exactly the same story and all without create... i WOULD have brought it (since i didn't knew it had a create mode at first) but then i would probably sell it later on. and also never buy LBP2. :I

I enjoyed the story mode from the first game far more. I definitely wished it was longer once I was done. I didn't feel cheated. I just enjoyed it so much that I wished there was more to play once I was done with it. I think it had to do with how the whole thing felt like you were simply playing with a stuffed doll on someone's desk or in their yard. Everything actually did feel handmade in it, which was what drew me to it in the first place. I'd definitely buy that and play it over and over.

LBP2, not so much. Create would definitely have to be there. I didn't enjoy the story as much in this game. Clive's world was my favorite out of all of them. When I initially heard that there was going to be a Steampunk world in the game, I got excited. Steampunk is my most favorite artistic theme in the world. When I played Victoria's world, I was underwhelmed. It wasn't bad, but it wasn't as focused on the Victorian aspect as I had imagined. It focused more on the dessert aspect. The orchestral music and the cinematics made the whole game feel like the world was scaled down. It removed that whole handmade, "playing with toys" feel that I loved about the first game. I don't regret buying 2, but 1's story mode was better, IMO.

If it was just for this short story mode, I'd definitely not buy it. Anyways, if it was the case, it would probably be a 15/25 $ game from the PS Store. LBP is all about creating, sharing and inovating, and without those aspects, LBP isn't LBP.

I enjoyed the Factory of a Better Tomorrow and Avalonia. But if there wasn't story mode, I wouldn't have the best level I created. It's based off Da Vinci, and I don't think I could've made anything similar without story.

Story mode by it self would only be worth it if it cost only 10$ or less.
I am a Big 2D or 2.5D Platformer fan, so I'd still be interested in playing it.
But really LBP is worth pretty much only the create-mode and almost endless player made levels.

But I do have to say I enjoyed LBP2’s Story mode far Better then LBP1’s Dull story mode IMO.
But they could still have done even better. I’m not a very big fan of Sci-Fi stories.

Hopefully whatever LBP they make for PS4 will have A more Simple & Fun story
And less “Trying to hard to be epic” Story mode. *mew
